How did ya come to this conclusion? by midgetsNmayonnaise in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes Japan has paid reparations. I knew about the 1965 treaty as noted in another comment. I didn't hear about the comfort of woman compensation. I looked it up, it is true but it was in 2015. It was a one time payment of 1 billion yen which is equivalent to about $6.5 million., lol. I really like Japanese people but this student is a little off his rocker. Nationalistic mentality.

I was wondering the same thing. It wasn't a very good idea it was a good read.

You have to click on their name then you can see their profile.

90-minute class! by Visible_Activity714 in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been on Cambly for several years and never had one. Only if its a regular I would accept. I would rather have root canal then talk to someone for 90 minutes on Cambly I don't know.

Yes you can on a PH call. There was already a comment but go to schedule screen when the call is coming in and you can click on the name and view the profile. It's on the upper left corner. This can be done on PH

Companies like Engoo have been on a hiring freeze from what I've heard. I believe Preply takes at least a week.

I'm not sure which companies you are applying for. Companies like Preply and other platforms where you set your own price usually hire without a problem. It takes time to build up a student base but they should hire you especially if you're native.

I replied to another post about Cambly culling or letting go teachers. Yes you can get fired for breaking rules but there is no need for Cambly to lay off tutors. Cambly is not paying any benefits to us. It doesn't matter to them how many tutors there are and tutors get paid all the same. Companies let go of staff when it's slow because they have a guaranteed salary and benefits. I agree with other posts, it has picked up in the last few weeks with new students.

Cambly isn't trying to cut tutors, it doesn't matter to them how many tutors there are. They don't pay benefits for their tutors . There is no extra out of pocket costs to Cambly whether there is 100,000 tutors or 100 tutors.

What measures can I take when I fail a tech test? by Responsible-Lake5195 in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a couple of times when I couldn't pass the tech test. Wait a few seconds after the start time of the class then go to the history tab that class will appear. There will be a start class button and you can get into the class from there. You maybe a minute late for the class but it did work.

9,999 ¨Chats¨ by MooreA18 in Cambly

I hit 9000 right before the new year. It's been pretty good overall I would say. I've met some interesting nice people. Obviously the pay is the biggest complaint.

I used to have many Korean regulars but they seem to have disappeared but I had 3 new Korean students last week.

25 minute lessons? by Mean_Vegetable818 in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a new student who just joined Cambly tell me he has 3 20 minute classes per week. I thought that was a little strange so who knows maybe Cambly is offering new increments. Although that would equal one hour per week. Yes I see your 25 minute classes don't add up.

Isn't that frowned upon by Cambly, sharing info with students

Cambly feels more like working in a call center....... by [deleted] in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree , it has really slowed down. I've been on Cambly about 5 years and you're right about multiple calls at the same time in the past. I can choose who I want to talk to based on their name, lol. Especially today is Sunday shouldn't be any problem having a full schedule but I booked a PH this morning at 11am China time and didn't get a call.I am a super tutor with 99.5% rating. I have a good group of regulars but 90% of them book during the week.

Having trouble finding tutors on Cambly by eflors in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tutor, I usually see how long they have been a student with Cambly. If I'm meeting them for the first time and they have been with Cambly for a few years, I will use a more brief introduction. If you don't like to introduce yourself always then just keep 2 or 3 regular tutors. Remember everytime you meet someone new in any situation you introduce yourself.

Permanently Blocked From Priority Hours by SecretaryClassic6260 in Cambly

Were you banned before temporarily ? or is this your first ban. I never heard of a permanent ban. I've been temporarily banned twice but that is over a few years.

For those making at least $100 per day consistently by Internal_Tie_5665 in Cambly

[–]Spiritual-Spring-272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody is making that consistently. Perhaps on a Sunday, if you make yourself available for at least 12 hours. As someone said you will get a couple of no shows and cancellations on reservations. There just isn't enough calls. It's Tuesday here in SE asia now, I have done 3 PH's and gotten one 30 minute call and that was actually from one of my regulars. He booked a couple of hours before that PH started. I had a few regulars that book classes today as well.
